Thanks for the heads up, unfortunately it didn't help. I also deactivated all other graphical options just in case, to no avail.

While I'm not 100% sure it is causing your problem, this game is not supported on Intel video hardware so I don't think we're going to be able to fix this here I'm sorry.

Whether updates to Mesa or Intel video drivers might help I'm not sure; it might be worth taking this up with Arch or Mesa support - the nature of the problem might suggest to them where the problem is.

Good luck with that!

The relevant Mesa issue with the id 2286 can be found in the official freedesktop gitlab at gitlab#freedesktop#org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/2286 (replace '#' by '.', I am not allowed to post links). The mesa issue suggests that this is a bug in the application. The application bug has been reported in this forum (see link in mesa issue).

Since this is a bug in the application and not the driver, would you consider fixing it? From the comments related to the bug in the application, the fix (checking array boundaries) seems quite trivial.

Thanks.
